How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 38 ÷ 32 = 1.1875
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.1875 × 100 = 118.75%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 118.75% of 32 is 1.1875 × 32 = 38.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 38/32 = p/100, so p = 38 × 100 ÷ 32 = 118.75%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =38/32*100. Dividing the wrong way round (whole ÷ part) gives a different answer. The number after “of” is always the whole, so it goes on the bottom.

What the result means

38 is more than the whole amount (1.188 times as much) of 32. 38 goes past 32 by 6, which is another 18.75% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 38 items against a target of 32 means reaching 118.75% of the target, beating it by 18.75%.

Turning it around
